Having been referred to your company we were going to use a conveyancing solicitor in Blackburn found by you but stumbled across some other estimates on the internet seem cheaper – why is this?
You can find numerous conveyancing outfits offering at first sight what seems to be very low prices. Our recommendation is to think twice as to how much you respect your own move to you are willing to be penny wise pound foolish over the quality of the conveyancing. Some hide fees deep into the terms of business. The conveyancers that we list for conveyancing in Blackburn neverbehave this way.
Can conveyancing in Blackburn to be finalised inside a month?
First, If you are under pressure for your conveyancing we would recommend that your conveyancer is familiar with the area as they will have local connections and insight. It is possible that they would have conducted otherproperties in the same neighbourhood. You would be best advised to use a Blackburn conveyancing firm. Second, make sure that the conveyancing firm is on the lender panel. It is estimated that just under twenty per cent of Blackburn conveyancing transactions are held up or jeopardised after finding out that a buyer’s lawyer was not on their mortgage lender’s member panel. This can often result in the conveyancing being frustrated by almost three weeks. It is said that this issue impacts in the region of one hundred thousand home moves every year. Almost all Blackburn conveyancing firms can not represent certain lenders so do check at the outset.
What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Blackburn
There are two types of lawyers who can execute conveyancing in Blackburn namely CLC regulated conveyancers or solicitors. The two can handle the legal services that you need to complete the sale or acquisition of property. They are both obliged to execute Blackburn conveyancing on similar standards and guidelines so you can be safe in the knowledge that your conveyancing will be properly administered and that all requisite steps will be suitably taken.
When it comes to lenders such as Lloyds, do Blackburn lawyers incur an annual charge to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are unaware of any lender fees to be on their panel, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
I have paid off my mortgage with TSB. I assume I don't need a Blackburn conveyancer on the TSB panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your TSB mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the TSB mortgage from the register. TSB, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where TSB has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- TSB has instructed the Land Registry to do so
five months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Blackburn took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Blackburn. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Blackburn is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Blackburn are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Blackburn you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Blackburn may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
